Workout:2 hours easy on the treadmill (~8:41 pace); Varying incline up to 5.5

Notes:My knee was sore and I didn't feel like I had the energy to complete this one. In fact, I almost bailed 10 minutes in. However, the more I ran the better I felt and actually felt decent afterwards. My knee started to ache later in the day so I will focus the coming week on lightening up and rehabbing it.

Notes:Phew. This was a hard workout to geared up for. Just when you complete the interval set and think you are done - WHAM - guess what, one more hour of running. I thought the last hour would me miserable but it actually went by rather quickly due to playing with elevation and watching Kill Bill.

Easy run followed by lifting and stretching. I'm finishing out the Sopranos and watched the next to last episode. I know I am late to the party so I can't believeBobby, Christopher and Sil all got whacked!

The 20min at threshold pace was uncomfortable but still doable. Which was good because I was all freaked out before the run that I couldn't do it. I should know better - listen to your body not your mind.

Knee is back to being healthy. I lost a whole week of marathon training (grrr) so I'll need to find a place to make that up later. Otherwise felt good and made sure to stretch afterwards. I'm planning on registering for the Pig tomorrow!

Notes: I busted out the Baby and Mommy yoga video with the crazy turban wearing, chanting lady (she's American which is why it's weird). The baby was in it for awhile but then pooped his pants and no longer had an interest in being a yoga baby.

About Me

After taking a few years off of running after college, I got back in racing form after my first child was born. My marathon debut was 3:27. I trained harder for the next one with a goal of 3:15. However, it wasn't in the cards and I ran another 3:27. I had baby #2 and was in the midst of training to capture that elusive 3:15 when I was diagnosed with cancer in my left femur bone - primary bone lymphoma.
